As you may or may not know I am 47. Yes age is just a number but when you hear that your favorite music, movie, TV show or something like that was released or opened 20, 30 or 40 years ago it makes your bones and soul hurt a little. Everything gets older, not just human beings.

Yes I am still playing Pokemon Go and I imagine many others are doing the same. Today we went to Walmart for a few things and while there I racked up on Pokemon including this new one I added to my collection. So not only can you walk out with $200 worth of stuffs you can level up to a new level in the game. Always low prices and lots of Pokemonsters too.
The weekend is under way. I hope you have a great one. Enjoy your time away from the usual routines.Love and peace.
Tom Hanks does it again in his great performance as Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger in the movie “Sully”. Sullenberger on a flight out of LaGuardia Airport in NYC had to perform an emergency landing in the Hudson River after both the engines were damaged in flight by Canada geese flying into them. His experience led to all 155 of his passengers surviving.
In this movie there is a story of heroism and validation when Sully’s landing the plane into the river is called into question. Aaron Eckhart plays Jeff Skiles who is the first officer of the plane piloted by Sullenberger. Eckhart is a great actor in his own right and he puts forth a great performance and is a perfect companion to Hanks.
Tom Hanks continues to establish himself as one of the great talents of our day. This movie as a true-to-life presentation of the events of January 15, 2009 when that airliner made its water landing. It’s a movie that is meant to be seen on the big screen.
Happy Friday to you all. Let’s have a great one. Finish this week in style. Love and peace!
Today is the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek. It’s 5 year mission which turned to 3 years on TV but extended into syndication and spin off shows and movies is an American icon that tells the story of adventure, science, hope, friendship and bravery. This show informs us of what is possible and how people from different races, genders and planetary homelands can survive and work together. It is about a future where people are just people and there is a spirit of inclusion. America can be that place if it truly wants to be or it can be tribal, divisive and full of hate. I think 50 years ago Gene Roddenberry got it right but we today have it wrong. Instead of building walls we should build starships and being a global community. I think America has a long way to go before we can live long and prosper.
